|

Hello! I just received the whole-shebang train set from S@H (as well as the Blacksmith Shop, which I assembled first). What a great train this is! The caboose and the passenger wagon are my favorites. I will probably order another color engine, as (...) (23 years ago, 25-Feb-02, to lugnet.reviews, lugnet.trains)

(...) I don't think a blacksmith would have worn a peasant's cowl. Firstly, because it gets very hot in a forge. And secondly because a blacksmith was a skilled artisan, probably a guild member, and so would have dressed a bit more upmarket than a (...) (23 years ago, 20-Feb-02, to lugnet.reviews)
